I discovered that my tendency to eat when I'm not hungry is likely due to an over-developed dorsal striatum. This part of the brain triggers a desire for food simply because it is available, rather than out of necessity.
I’m moving away from rapid dieting toward a slow, sustainable weight loss plan. My approach focuses on losing 1kg monthly through mindful eating, stocking healthy foods, and incorporating simple habits like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
I used ChatGPT to interview me about my food preferences, combine them with my daily food log, and create a compact profile that helps AI agents recommend restaurants and dishes I’ll enjoy.
I argue that time management is actually about building habits and managing my moods. I prioritize choosing the right tasks over efficiency, using strategic procrastination and working only when I’m inspired to get things done faster.
I reflect on how fear drives the creation of bloated, unread consulting proposals. By admitting ignorance and prioritizing brevity, I argue that "less is more" actually preserves focus and prevents the professional stagnation caused by corporate fluff.
I reflect on the courage required for professional honesty, whether allowing negative customer feedback or saying "no" to overtime. By challenging my internal fears and setting clear boundaries, I found that directness is more effective than people-pleasing.
